A couple of questions:
- Do the opencaching caches always start with "OC"?
- How do I construct the url from the cache id? For example,
http://www.opencaching.de/viewcache.php?
cacheid=133843 goes to cache OC7836

1. When I contributed to opencaching.pl code branch, I've seen a match like:
if ((($target == 'oc') || ($target == 'op') ||($target == 'nc') || ($target ==
'gc'))
&& mb_ereg_match('((oc|op|gc)([a-z0-9]){4,4}|n([a-f0-9]){5,5})$',
mb_strtolower($searchfor)))
to search for caches in database, but I've never seen an actual cache with
prefix
other than OC and OP. So I'm not quite sure, but I'll have it checked with other
developers.
2. You can construct url through
http://www.opencaching.de/viewcache.php?wp=OC7836 .
It can be a little buggy, eg. wp arg does not get carried over when you log in,
so
you'll get "cache not found" page when submitting credentials, but I'll have it
reported so it should get fixed pretty soon (at least in .pl code branch).

I can wire this to opencaching.de for now....but the cache might come from
opencaching.cz or .pl too! Is there a
way I can tell? I might need to popup a dialog to ask the user.
Is the information in the pocket query?
BTW, the "google maps" link does not include the cache id. Since you are a
developer, can you add that to the
link so I can grab it in GeoBeagle? Perhaps there is a way to slip in de vs cz
vs pl in the url as well.

Is there a reason why GeoBeagle creates its own URLs from the name element,
rather
than using the URL provided in the url element?

As far as I can tell there is no way from the url to distinguish between de /
cz / pl
opencaching web sites.
If I am wrong, please send me sample URLs from each of the sites and we can
make
geobeagle parse them.

It appears that GeoBeagle uses the name element in the GPX file
<name>GC1MATH</name>
to open the cache page at Geocaching.com
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC1MATH
However, this doesn't work if some other application (e.g., GSAK, Geocaching
Basecamp) has rewritten the name element before GeoBeagle sees it. GeoBeagle
opens a
non-functional URL, like
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=Difference Cache
Meanwhile, a working URL has been provided in the url element:
<url>http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=7a21403b-a097-403f-b
b2d-f62f914fa5c8</url>
GeoBeagle should be able to use that URL reliably.

oh, ignore my last comment, I was thinking this bug was about google maps link
importing
I haven't looked at the gpx file format lately, but we should be able to
support this and
hopefully it will fix the opencaching problem.
